It has a US plug and US voltage (110v), so it should work for US and Canada. I stupidly packed it with me to Hong Kong when I moved, which is rather silly. I'd just like to give it a home where it'll be used instead of just throwing it away. I'll send it to whoever claims it first. As "payment" I ask that you donate $20 to a charity. If it arrives dead somehow I'll pay you back the $20. Let's see if this works.

Hi L,How much do you think shipping to the US would run? Thanks. I have the plastic version, but it died on me.H

Jayinhk, It was different: In 1990-95 in the Philippines, I saw both electrical currents in use. I often stayed in rooms w/ no in-room toilet, no a/c, etc.; yet, some of those rooms had one outlet for 220 & one for 110. I realize now that is almost 2 decades ago.

1989 - 92, I often stayed in cheap places on & around Adriatico street in Malate & Mabini sections of Manila where the two currents were available.Early 90s in Angeles (former home of USA's Clark Airforce base) the "American" electrical system prevailed the few years that I was there (starting 1 year after the American military was kicked out). The USA-built power plants & grids were vandalized but outages in Angeles were only for an hour usually while Manila's went most of the day. Adriatico Street was often full of smoke & noise from generators during the time of the "brownouts" which were scheduled but came ahead of the schedule & lasted past it.

Ah ok, many of the older hotels in that area still offer both voltages and I've seen that around the world as a lot of Americans need 110V for their electric shavers and the like. Virtually nobody else has 110V in the Philippines now unless they have a step down converter.

Brownouts are much less common in Manila today (still a big problem other places), and Malate is a pretty darn rough neighborhood. I've got a lot of stories that wouldn't be appropriate for this board!
